Shyster selling BMW MC parts (fraud)

[TriangleRider]

 The fraudster askes to make payment in the  "family and friends" section. 

Insisting on "family and friends" is the most obvious sign of fraud in an online transaction.  Scammers have all sorts of excuses for why they need to be paid that way.  Ignore them, it is all BS. A seller insisting on Zelle or any mention of a friend is another sure giveaway. 

Sorry you had to learn the hard way.     

Scamming is not only happening to buyers.  Use the same caution when you are selling an item.
